Connecting the DotsBy the 1980’s and 90’s, US public education was transformed intoa RE-Segregated Schooling System that depended upon:
• the Deprofessionalization of Teaching
• the criminalization of Black/Latino Youth
• a Deeper more insidious form of Eurocentric Anti-IntellectualEducation
• a Public Trough for Private Corporations to suck up Billions of tax
payers’ dollars
• The Systematic Disappearance of Black Educators

Race to the Top Act (2009- present)

Connecting the DotsToday, The Corporate Education “Deformers” have replaced a mediocre and
racist public education system with one run by the very same corporations thathave brought us subprime housing.
Now we have Subprime Education that brings more wealth to the
